Re: Do girls like smart boys over looks?Oh definitely yes.
Seriously, there's been many an occasion when I've liked the look of a guy physically but as soon as I have a conversation with him and I've realised he has very little to say for himself then it's someone drops a bucket of cold water on the situation.
However intelligence is most attractive when it means you have interesting things to say, opinions about the world and can be passionate about a subject. Being intelligent in the sense that you are very good at maths but can't hold a decent conversation dos nothing for me. -

Re: Do girls like smart boys over looks?If you're smart and dress well, you can do well. Just don't be geeky, be mysterious. That's how I do it and I've done quite well tbh. Actually very well. I'm not Tom Cruise.

Re: Do girls like smart boys over looks?I wouldn't say I'd go for a *smart* guy who was less good looking as such, but I would go for a guy who seemed more dedicated and motivated who was less good looking. Attitude is a massive thing for me, not intelligence per say.

Re: Do girls like smart boys over looks?I think a lot guys think they are smarter than they are and they think they are uglier than they are.
And girls do not like intelligent guys really. They like guys who are easy to communicate with. This ease of communication is often confused with being intelligent. You could have a phenominally smart guy, but he cannot hold a conversation, he will be unattractive.
Infact, I bet every guy a girl likes, the girl thinks the guy is "intelligent".
This misleading notion in a girls mind, leads them to think they find objectively intelligent guys attractive, when in reality they consider the people who they like as intelligent (whether they really are or not).Last edited by Classical Liberal; 16-06-2012 at 20:28. -

Tbh, intelligence doesn't really get you far with the girls.
Looks and social status is where the power actually is. If you wanna call it that. -
